Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

More Like Everybody At A Loss

The title of this article was 'Democrats At A Loss'? Considering that the current 'first string' Republicans consist of politicians up to their necks in hot water (Dubya, DeLay, Frist, to name a few) I'd say that this writer's guilty of wishful thinking. Spin, spin, spin.

Dude wrote: To be sure, things are pretty gloomy for the Republicans right now and Democrats could indeed come out on top in 2006. But if they do, it won't be due to any innovative thinking on their part.

Again, wishful thinking, whatever-your-name-is. I guess you'll have to just wait and see like the rest of the non-clairvoyant.

This guy just hopes there's no innovative thinking from Democratic Party. Of course, it wouldn't surprise me if there isn't, but if there is, there will be a changing of the guard. Heck, even without any Democratic innovation, Republicans are doing a fine job of making themselves look bad enough. Just talk to a few former Bush-supporting moderates — they'll tell you all about it.
